Well these are just...amazing! They are lightweight, portable, and most are easy to navigate. They are able to store loads of information and have access to a lot of different applications that are great for any type of need. These touch pads are great of course, but should be used carefully and educationally. They are not a great device for everyone, especially those with really poor motor skills, but there are a lot of benefits. Many schools now have these readily available for student use throughout the day. There are so many possibilities, especially in education.
A popular brand is the Apple Ipad. Below is a simple and short video, but very moving to me because at first it doesn't seem like the child is doing much, but for this child it is the first time he is using a pen and it's because of the touch pad and it's remarkable technology!
What were you initial thoughts and feelings when watching this video?
